- You feel at home
- You meet people just like you
- You get to try new things you would have never done in your life such as zip-lining, horse back riding, paint balling, kayaking, canoeing, swimming in a lake, the blob, learning campfire songs, high ropes, and climbing a telephone pole and jumping off from the very top (Wearing a harness of course!)
- You tell funny diabetes stories and everyone laughs
- You can relate to everyone about their midnight refrigerator trips
- Everyone looks like crap, so it doesn’t matter what you look like the whole week
- You get a nice break from the real world
- If you are low someone will always have glucose tabs
- If you are high someone will have insulin on hand
- Camp fire. (That’s all I have to say)
- You gain a bunch of Facebook friends who share funny and sarcastic diabetes posts on your wall
- You make new forest friends, such as raccoons.
- They become your best friends for life, even though you only see them for one week out of the whole year
